Modern, quirky, comfy
A really modern hotel that feels like something special and right in the city centre. The rooms are comfortable and quirky with additional extras and lots of tips to enhance the stay.

Enjoyed my stay
Hobo Helsinki was great for a short stay but if I was to do a longer stay, I’d expect some more amenities and improvements to take the experience from great to excellent.
Good:
Good location
Fantastic breakfast with lots of options including vegan and gluten free, as well as local specialities
Lovely design of the hotel common areas and is it design-forward
Had a lovely negroni and pizza from the restaurant
Friendly team
Luggage storage downstairs is self service which is appreciated
Quiet hotel
Could be improved:
Bins - there is only one tiny bin in the bathroom which is not enough - there should be one in the main room or in the corridor to help guests recycle or get rid of rubbish daily (without having to request a clean)
Having a safe in the room to store valuables
Having smart TVs for screen sharing, streaming services or more English language channels. The only English language channel that worked for my room was National Geographic and I was unable to screen mirror from my phone to the TV to watch Netflix.
More information on arrival / check in (telling me check out times etc) would have been helpful - or this information could be in the room
Having a small fridge in-room would have been appreciated if it had been a longer stay for water etc

Great location
The Hotel is nicely centrally located and convenient. Breakfast was fine. The room I stayed in was chilly. Adjusting the thermostat didn’t seem to help. The only minus of the stay was the lack of a bidet. A bidet is quite important for travelers.

Great for short stay in Helsinki
My sister and I stayed for 2 nights and we upgraded from a Hobo Sleeper to a Hobo Double the day before we checked in as were given a good offer and we liked the idea of extra space.
It is well located, only a 10min walk from the train station, plenty of food options within a short walk and most of the usual tourist attractions.
Staff were friendly at check in and the room was clean. The breakfast offered by the hotel had lots of good options and was tasty.
We'd stay again.
